Ooooh hell yea… China is still very culturally conservative. It reminds me of the youtuber CaptainCool07, even though he lives in San Fransisco. While he makes videos that give pretty decent insight into Chinese politics and history, his other content are however straight up lgbtphobic… talking about “wokism,” “family values,” etc. Bear in mind, this guy has also stated that he is not a communist/socialist, even though some of his content may appeal to MLs.
“Yyyeaa even if they disarm we still gotta go and bomb em.”
Edit: I’m saving this one, so that anytime libs hit me with the “China is just as bad for militarizing”, I’m just gonna show them this.
From Russia’s POV, Western imperialism and LGBTQ+ has become synonymous, and this was no accident. Just look at the Lockheed Martin funded pride march from a while ago…
Edit: I’m not trying to make the claim that Western imperialism and LGBTQ+ are synonymous, rather I’m commenting on how Western capitalists have co-opted LGBTQ+ movements and imageries, and this would have the effect of compelling Russia, or other global south countries who sees this, to stray towards a less LGBTQ+ tolerant direction.
‘Manufacturing Consent’ now hits differently.
I found r/GenZeDong through r/Sino. And I first heard of r/Sino from some Vietnamese gusano on r/AsianMasculinity (liberal brainrot sub) complaining that the sub is “becoming r/Sino.” I was in these pro-Asian subs like AsianMasculinity and AznIdentity because of the spike in anti-Asian/anti-Chinese racism in 2020.
‘Identity politics,’ as some Marxists like to pejoratively put it, was what put me on this path and is what still keeps me here. I reckon a lot of the more dogmatic Marxists out there won’t like this, but fuck them… I worry the fuck out of what will happen to me or Chinese people in general within the next few years.
Western Tiktok being significantly more toxic and cancerous than Douyin (Chinese Tiktok) is not due to China. It’s a reflection of your own fucking culture.
